For those of you who are newer to the podcast, when I launched this show a little over two years ago, Asher and I recorded Kids POV episodes, or what Asher referred to as the “Asher Special Episodes,” together every couple of weeks. In fact, we’ve made nearly twenty of these Asher specials to date. As Asher is growing up and into his teen self, he is, very appropriately, becoming more private in his thoughts and feelings, so we’ve decided to cut back on the episodes that involve him.

However, we decided to do this one last episode on the topic of education, as we’ve been having lots of conversations about this ourselves lately and we thought it might be interesting to share it for the podcast. So today we talk about how Asher learns, what he thinks schools get wrong when it comes to supporting atypical learners, and what ideas he has for schools becoming more inclusive. I hope you enjoy it! And if you are newer to the show and you appreciate Asher’s perspective, definitely go back and listen to the other episodes we’ve done together, or co-listen to them with your kids. You can find them all here.

Listening to this podcast made me think of my nephew’s school in New Zealand. This is a public school with a non-traditional environment that is more accommodating to different learning styles. It is very interesting to see what they are doing. See http://www.pegasusbay.school.nz/WebSpace/310/ for information on the school and its “modern learning environment”.
